Says the Poet....



The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.  God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring. Acts 17:24-28

Nearer than a heartbeat,
Sovereign as a breath,
Closer than a newborn
Is the eaglet in her nest.

Higher than a mountain.
Stronger than a surge
Faithful is the courage
of the pinion of this bird!

Soar with wings like Eagles,
Seek until you rest.
Live and Move from Being,
Says the Poet to the blessed.
